Part Chimp

Brand spanking new Part Chimp recordings recorded at Dropout in late August 2010. Put to wax in time for their autumn tour of European cities.

Having supported their three previous studio albums - Chart Pimp (2003) and I Am Come (2005), Thriller (2009) - with extensive, worldwide touring through Japan, North America and Europe, Part Chimp are gearing up to do the same to support a vinyl release of Thriller and the new Gringo 7" in 2010.

Signed to Mogwai's Rock Action label, the Camberwell crew stand to impress fans of everyone from Black Sabbath and MC5 to TAD, Sonic Youth, The Melvins and Harvey Milk with their suffocating but liberating vibe that sounds brain-shakingly loud regardless where the volume dial is turned on your stereo.

A band with a definite history, Part Chimp were formed following the dissolution of cult underground rockers Ligament by vocalist and guitarist Tim Cedar and drummer John Hamilton adding Iain Hinchliffe, purloined from legendary jock noise outfit Sawyer. Since their inception in 2000, the Chimp have built up a reputation as a formidable live act, blowing audiences away with a mix of sonic belligerence and unashamed rock 'n' roll showmanship.
